Mr Venkataraman,

Building of bodies on a chassis is a work contract. VAT is applicable on the transfer of property involved in it. On the labour and services part ST is chargeable. Now any service is taxable except those in the negative list. Construction of bodies of commerciall vehicles is not an exempted activity......MJK.
